CROCHET BEACH SKIRT

Knit Simple Spring/Summer 2009 #21
Design by Jeannie Chin

Crocheted in an arch-mesh pattern, this long skirt stays securely in place over a swimsuit thanks to a chained drawstring hidden in a waistband casing. Because the front and back are worked separately and sewn together, you can adjust the height of the split as you like.
